| Welcome to the Bromley branch apiary meeting June 16th 2002 Enjoy - Steven Turner Bromley Home Page |
| The bees have started to draw the foundation on this frame. |
| The observation hive seems to be queenless. |
| Can't find her! |
| The Branch observation hive getting an overhaul for the next summer show. |
| Mini nuc for queen rearing |
| Mini nuc |
| We all help Peter to find the queen in the mini nuc, she's not to be found! |
| Sally thinking about doing the tea. |
| No joy finding the queen here either, better get some glasses. |
| Try this nuc |
| I must have used this queen the other day, I should keep better records. |
| A glass cover on this nuc. |
| This was a small cast on new frames, we will use this queen in the observation hive even if its a scrub queen! |
| Drastic measures are taken to find the queen, all bees are shaken on to the white cloth. Peter spots the queen, and she is given a white spot and put in an introduction cage. |
| 8 pairs of eyes are bound to spot the queen? |
| A view of some of the branch hives and nucs. |
| Peter Springall demonstrating. |
| Finally we introduce the new queen to the observation hive. Bromley Home Page |
